That is a correct spelling of the word, and the school provided Vice President Quayle with materials that had it spelled that way.
The school's spelling was incorrect and VP Quayle should have realized this. But being on the spot I can understand why he didn't question it.
What is concerning, however, is that after this well documented mishap, you (and others, possibly) sincerely feel that "potatoe" is the correct spelling.
Apart from a quote from the spin article where you sourced that idea, can you find a legitimate educational source that it was an "accepted spelling through the 19th century"? Nothing about that in an online etymology dictionary:

It's called "re-writing history," like what they've been trying to do with Bush's dismal record as POTUS lately.
And a little career-guidance for the OP: you've often said you can't decide whether or not to be a teacher or a lawyer (), but since you can't even spell 'potato,' please choose lawyer.

Someone who is delusional enough to believe the earth is only 5000 to 15000 years old and dinosaurs existed at the same time as humans has no business being within 100 feet of a classroom full of kids or a law practice.

As usual, the liberals deflect away from the topic, and instead discuss Harrier.
It never fails to occur.
Liberals can't handle the truth - that everybody is on to their lies and spin.
That was the point of the thread - highlighting liberal lies and spin, and they don't like the glare of harsh reality.
This topic and thread is already a failure. I responded directly to your post. So you are just as much of a participant in the deflection as anyone else.
